## Description

A young ballerina learns to dream big and let her spirit shine in this uplifting story, perfect for aspiring dancers! Sassy is a long-legged girl who always has something to say. She wants to be a ballerina more than anything, but she worries that her too-large feet, too-long legs, and even her big mouth will keep her from her dream. When a famous director comes to visit her class, Sassy does her best to get his attention with her high jumps and bright leotard. Her first attempts are definitely not appreciated, but with Sassy's persistence, she just might be able to win him over. Dancing in the Wings is loosely based on actress/choreographer Debbie Allen's own experiences as a young dancer.

Review: Lovely book - My 9 yr old daughter loved the bookand we found it funny as well. I especially loved the message it sent about essentially loving yourself and that everyone has a place. I have boys as well, so my daughter was able to relate to the sibling banter in the story. If giving as a gift, be mindful that there are some familiar to certain generations, yet possibly unkind lines in it such as "your mama" 🙂. While I understood it as I read it, I wasn't prepared for that to be there.
Review: Beautiful book - Great story, gorgeous pictures!

I can't wait to gift this book. I'm making a vinyl t-shirt with a dance theme to gift with it for the child to wear while they read the book just for fun.
